done 80 much for many years to elevate labor,
will be greatly impaired. These labor experts
in Washington and the labor politicians, who
cannot have any selfish motive in view, because
they cannot run for ofice, say there has never
been class organization or society Of any char-
acter which has survived an active participation
in politics, and that the organization OF knights
OF Labor is too nearly divided ever TO permit
the successful candidacy Of one of their own
number for national Office. They do not dis

THE NEW YORK STORE
tEstab1ished 1851
LINEN DEPARTMENT 7!

The ladies will gladly receive
the notice that our semi-annual
display OF Linen goods begins
Monday, April IS. The new
fixtures for this department en-
able us to make better display
than ever, and our recent large
purchase will make a showing
in Linen goods surprising any
ever had in the State. Our
purchases this season have been
confined to good qualities and
good values. What we mean
by this is that we have not tried
to buy any low-priced goods to
make low prices on. We think
the day has come when all
good housekeepers prefer a
good article in Linen goods, be-
lieving it to be economy. For
instance, good linen tabling
at SO cents is better and cheaper
than one at half price and half
as good. This idea will be
found correct in all lines of
Linen goods.
Every good housekeeper is
proud of her linens, and no one
article OF housekeeping goods
receives so much attention.
We make our linen stock a
special study, from the fact that
we do a large business in them
and they are salable every day
in the year.
Our Linen Department is 81
feet in length and filled in every
shelf.
In our semi-annual display
opening, on Monday, will be.
found a full and complete as
sortment of bleached and cream
damasks, in width from 54 to
~ inches, and prices from SO
cents to s..
We call special attention to
five pieces bleached damask at
81, actually worth S1.25. They
are two yards width, and beau
tiful patterns. Also, pattern
cloths yards wide and d
yards long at $2.8o, actually
worth So. Also, pattern cloths
in cream with red borders, size
i yard wide and 2 yards long,
at SO cents.
Beautiful fringed cloths in
all sizes.

special from New York in which
John Most was represented as
making a very incorporate speech;
and that others, among them Ed

made a wild harangue. Shevitch
and R. J. Hinton telegraphed the
Tribune that its report was gross
misstatement of the facts and
asked that it be corrected. But
the Tribune, like all the corrupt
and lying press, refused to do JUS
tice to those it had lied about.

THEIR CRIME.

Down deep in the slough of
human misery they delved and
brought to the light of nineteenth
century civilization the cruel re-
suits of mans inhumanity to man.
Over the pathway trodden by
the burden-bearers of this land
they travelled, and, finding it
strewn with the bleaching bones
of their fellow-toilers, -Wron IS
victims cried aloud, and bitterly,
against the miserable system that
caused it.
Into the nav Of the beast of
competitive industry they threw
the light of scientific investigation
and, finding it the grave of human
hopes and happiness, vowed it
should die.
Out into the darkness of La
bor's long night they thrust a
loving arm and sought to bring
the wandering prisoner of poverty
into higher life, a nobler ambi-
ton.
Guided by the impulse of ten
der hearts they sought to break
the chains encircling the limbs of
Labor, poor sightless Sampson
that he is-and drive Shylock
from the temple of mans hopes,
ambitions and higher develop
ment.
And this hath been the height
of their offending; this the reason
they are called anarchists; this
the reason they are sentenced to
be hung.

The Northumberland coal min
ers in England have supported in
parliament two men as their repre-
sentatives for years. The two men,
Burt and Fenwick, were real good
conservative fellows, who had
grown fat and contented on their
$500 per year paid them by the
miners. Fat and contentment are
not the starting or initiative forces
of'reforms. consequently Burt and
Fenwick sought more to keep the
poor miserably paid miners con-
tented than to mark out line of
advance. The English Socialists
saw the condition of things and
sent speakers into the mining
hamlets of bleak Northumberland.
They did their work well. Burt
and Fenwick are looking for an
other fat job, of keeping working
men content. And the best of it
is that the miners will from all ac-
counts elect two Socialists in their

'very little competition. because !

him with the nee cessaries of life
for that day and enough over for
the rent or tribute which was ex-
acted BY the baron OF noble il

a man used to work twelve or

that the machinery is not used
